From Drama to Empowerment, High Performance and Happiness – Merilee Smith

Revenue By Design As high-achievers, we constantly strive to be our best and make great things happen! With our success, comes challenges and never-ending expectations. It’s easy to run on autopilot and react to situations. We can get sucked into energy-draining stress, low vibe thinking, and unnecessary drama—at work and in life. When this happens, we lose focus of what’s most important. We feel the pressure to do more and be more. Stress affects our overall performance, well-being, and relationships. It impacts how we communicate and work with others and it keeps us from our fullest potential. Understanding how you can consciously respond to stress in an empowering way instead of reacting to it, will help you lead and live as the best version of you in all aspects of your life. This is what you will learn during this highly engaging and practical session. You will: • Learn The Drama to Empowerment Framework, a self-awareness tool for daily presence and control, enabling you to reduce stress and live with more purpose and passion. • Understand which of your reactive thoughts and habits trigger you into the Dreaded Drama Triangle roles of Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer and the costs to you, your team, those you support, overall performance, and culture. • Realize the positive and sustainable outcomes you create when you proactively lead from The Empowerment Dynamic roles of Creator, Challenger, and Coach. • Embrace, learn, and grow from your stress and drama, rather than avoid or resist it, so that you can be more intentional, resourceful, resilient, and confident. You will walk away: • Equipped to handle stress and changes with agility and embrace opportunities with confidence. • Feeling energized, more present and focused, lighter and inspired. • Read to consciously live from your highest self and make a positive impact on others and our world.
